A Journey of Life, Love, and Daily Blessings with Our Baby Boy

Happy Mother's Day to all moms, step-moms, soon-to-be moms, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers! Here's to you and celebrating the amazing opportunity to have the most important job in the world and what being a mom means.

I might be celebrating this day with my sweet child in heaven, but he made me a mommy, and I'm so proud to be his mommy. Although he is not here, he continues to teach me everyday about the kind of person and mom that I want to be -- one who loves endlessly and does whatever it takes for her child... one who is strong, but grows; teaches, but learns; preaches, but listens... one who prays faithfully...and one who hugs and kisses those she loves any time she gets the chance!

I pray I never take being a mom for granted because it's one of the greatest gifts the Lord could ever give. Being a mom means creating life -- God creates life through you; a precious miracle. And no matter how long a mom has her baby in her arms, 8 hours or 80 years, the bond and connection of a child and a mom are forever.

May all of the moms out there have a very blessed day and remember the gift God gave you as a mom.
